The main criteria for choosing material for ceilings in the apartment
Choosing one or another type of finish, primarily focus on the material used. It can be the most diverse, ranging from plastering, whitewashing and painting, ending with PVC film. It is possible to consider each material from the point of view of ecology, and it is possible to choose proceeding from rationality and functional capabilities of a certain room.
It is very important that the ceiling is in harmony with the rest of the finish.
Ceiling height
The height of the ceiling plays a key role in choosing how to finish it. So, for example, at a low room height, making a structure from drywall means lowering the ceiling even lower. Therefore, in this case, choose a different finish.
The main thing you need to rely on when choosing them is your own preferences and wishes, the type of room itself and the cost of materials.
Room size
Living space also plays a role in deciding how to decorate the ceiling. If the room is small in size, then experts recommend finishing this part of the living space with a monophonic option that does not have any special differences. And only in the design of large spaces, the designer, the owner and master are not limited in the choice of finishes. On the ceiling in a large room, a smooth monophonic finish and a ceiling having several differences made in the form of curly compartments will look good.
If there is a financial constraint, then more budget types of design should be chosen.
Thus, when planning the design of ceilings in an apartment, it is necessary to take into account not only your own wishes and priorities, but also the overall parameters of the room.
Stretch ceiling
Polyvinyl chloride film (or the so-called vinyl sheet) is a special mesh material made of polyester, additionally impregnated with polymers. This coating option allows you to create a wide variety of effects on the ceiling, ranging from glossy and matte plain surfaces to a variety of patterns made in the form of photo printing.
Not very expensive, but at the same time, stretch ceilings will look very aesthetically and modernly.
The main positive characteristics of tension structures:
- service life is about 20 years,
- sufficient strength
- high resistance to burning,
- environmental friendliness
- moisture resistance.
The most common type used to decorate any room.
The disadvantages include the high cost and complexity of mounting such a design.
Important! When operating a stretch ceiling, it is necessary to handle it very carefully and avoid contact with sharp or rough surfaces. Since they can very easily damage the film, and repairing it will be problematic.
Plasterboard ceilings
Drywall sheets can be 3 types:
- the simplest is when the gypsum filling on both sides is finished with cardboard layers,
- to increase the moisture-proof properties of these sheets, the filling can be coated with a polymer layer,
- also increased mechanical stress and moisture can be carried by gypsum sheets with vinyl coating on both sides.
Drywall has a special lightness, plasticity, environmental friendliness and provides a unique opportunity to construct a perfectly flat surface or unusual ceiling shapes.
In accordance with this, drywall sheets can belong to various classes:
- ordinary
- moisture resistant
- with normal fire resistance,
- with increased fire resistance.
Drywall helps hide the nervousness on the surface of the ceiling, the electric wire, and in addition, with the help of it you can make the original backlight.
The main advantages of using this material are:
- high level of environmental friendliness, provided by the absence of toxic components,
- light weight does not give increased loads,
- such a ceiling in an apartment can hide communication lines beneath it,
- installation is quite simple and quick,
- thanks to such sheets, you can get a surface that looks perfectly smooth.
You can make simple drywall constructions with your own hands, and more complex ideas are best implemented with the help of professionals.
The main disadvantages of drywall are:
- intense exposure to moisture will ruin even moisture resistant materials,
- the outer surface of the ceiling, which is sewn up with plasterboard sheets, needs additional decoration - it must be painted or whitened.
It allows you to equip the insulating layer to maintain the necessary microclimate in the room.
Quite often, it is from drywall that multilevel ceilings are made. Such options look very original and allow you to inexpensively implement various styles in the room.
The photo shows a drywall view of a figured ceiling in the interior of the living room.
Plastic panels
Plastic panels mounted on the ceiling on a wooden or metal crate - this is an economical option when decorating the ceiling.
This type of ceiling coating is highly resistant to moisture. Therefore, it can be mounted in those rooms where there is a temperature drop or the action of condensate. For example, on loggias, attic rooms, cottages or garden houses.
If updating the interior is important for you, but at the same time, this should be done at an extremely minimal cost, then choose laminated polystyrene tiles or PVC panels.
It can also be used in apartments, for example, in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Moreover, a diverse color palette will allow you to choose the right plastic panels for any style.
Painted and bleached ceilings
That whitewashing is the most traditional way of decorating the ceiling. Here are the characteristics of this material make it attractive:
- can be applied to any surface
- I’m not able to deal with this method even by professionals,
- thanks to whitewashing, you can get a snow-white color of the ceiling,
- this material is eco-friendly,
- air and moisture easily pass through such a layer, which ensures a normal level of humidity inside the room.
This method is inexpensive, but it is very time-consuming. Slabs on the ceiling should be with perfect joints, and its surface itself - perfectly pre-aligned.
Despite the seemingly comprehensive advantages, whitewashing the ceiling can encounter such disadvantages as:
- the need to regularly update the layer of lime, since for several years dust, dirt and possible soot accumulate on it;
- Before covering the ceiling with lime, the concrete base must be brought to a perfectly even state, otherwise the result will be unpleasant.
Solid coloring is suitable for those who make repairs on their own - this is the easiest option for finishing the ceiling in an apartment or in a private house.
Having diluted lime or chalk, you get the composition with which this type of ceiling decoration is carried out. Costs are negligible, but the result is quite attractive if all the preparatory work is performed at a high level.
A beautiful smooth white surface will fit in different styles.
You can also paint the ceiling. To do this, use emulsion formulations or others that have a water base. The main advantages of paint:
- environmental friendliness
- ease of application
- low cost
- ease of operation and maintenance,
- simplicity of execution
- choice of glossy or matt surface,
- adding color to the composition of the paint will allow you to get completely different shades of the ceiling.
It is also necessary to pre-prepare the ceiling. It should be aligned to perfect condition.
The choice of color for the ceilings in the apartment
Today's diverse design options allow you to perform the most incredible types of ceilings in the apartment. They are the simplest monophonic and representing one plane. This option is ideal for minimalism - it is often performed in bright colors. Such bright ceilings are ideal for all style decisions. But sometimes situations arise when you want to make a certain variety, or the design requires original solutions.
Often, the ceiling is decorated with additional decorative elements.
If you want to experiment with color, then you should consider the basic rules:
- if the room has a low ceiling, then you should use the most light colors without complex designs,
- with a low level of natural light, a multilevel ceiling should be made as light as possible in color, incorporating spotlights into it,
- if you use color on this part of the room, then it should be in harmony with the overall color scheme.
Making this type of ceiling you can easily hide some irregularities and defects on the surface of the ceiling.
Modern trends in the design and decoration of ceilings in the apartment
Today there are a variety of design options. Choose one that suits the overall style of the room.
So for the classic style, rustic, shabby chic, Scandinavian - it is best to opt for the usual whitewashing and painting in white.
If the room is planned in the style of Provence, a Swiss chalet, colonial, then on top of the ceiling, whitened in white or milk, the wooden structure of the beams should be installed. The tree can be a natural color or with the help of a stain brought to a dark chocolate shade.
Particularly spectacular such designs look in the halls, dining rooms and guest rooms.
Realizing such an idea is not easy enough - you need the help of a specialist. In addition, the room should have at least 20-25 square meters. m. and the ceilings should be at least 3 m high. For the loft style, you can leave this part of the room unprocessed at all.
Even a concrete surface with communications carried out over it harmoniously looks here.
If it is necessary to make a suspended ceiling and hide behind it an uneven base or communication line, then it is better to use a wide range of varieties of PVC films. They can be entered into almost all existing modern and classic styles.
The stretch ceiling allows you to hide all the defects of the rough finish.
Sheathed with wooden lining or its imitation should only be in wooden houses and preferably in large areas.
Ceiling lining, due to the soft and pleasant color of wood, forms a special microclimate, and creates a comfortable atmosphere that is conducive to relaxation.
The effect of the ceiling on the visual size of the room
If there is a need to increase the space, then it is worth:
- use a glossy PVC film - due to the formation of glare, the room seems taller,
- the lighter the color, the visually the space seems large,
- in one-room apartments, do not make too complex designs that have a saturated color - this can lead to psychological fatigue and visual discomfort,
- stretch ceilings in Khrushchev, especially those made of light glossy films, will increase not only the ceiling height, but also the area of space,
- if you illuminate the perimeter of the ceiling in the apartment, this will reflect not only modern trends, but also make the room wider, which is very clearly visible in the photo.
Fashionable, elite and original, very practical for decorating any interior.
Designer's advice on choosing a ceiling for an apartment
When choosing a ceiling decoration, you need to rely not only on your preferences, but also on the basic requirements that apply to this part of the room. Depending on the style decision, it is worth choosing a finishing material and color.
The larger the room area of a separate room and the entire housing as a whole, the more experiments with decoration you can afford.
In the studio room, it is advisable to use a ceiling to zone the space. If you make, for example, a structural difference or use different materials between the dining part and the living room, then you can visually divide the room into two parts.
A wide range of finishes in construction stores will allow you to easily realize the most daring design ideas and find the right solution for any budget.
In any case, before embarking on the implementation of any plan of your own, it is advisable to draw a sketch of the entire room with a certain type of ceiling. If the hand is not set well enough and it is impossible to create a sketch, then it is better to turn to a professional designer for it.
Painting / Whitewashing
The traditional and, perhaps, one of the most common in the recent past, the method of decorating the ceiling is whitewashing, recently more and more often gives way to painting.
Both options are ideal for rooms with low ceilings. The use of light shades allows you to visually increase the height of the walls and refresh the entire room.
The process of painting (whitewashing) the ceiling is quite simple, however, provides a perfectly smooth, carefully prepared surface.
There are two main components for the preparation of whitewash. This is lime and chalk. Regardless of the choice, they combine with water to the desired consistency.
The main disadvantage of whitewashing on the ceiling is that it crumbles, creating the need for regular wet cleaning of the premises and annual updating of the coating itself, which is also very unstable to any influences.
Paints for ceilings vary primarily in composition. Depending on the purpose of the premises, they can be:
- water emulsion,
- acrylic
- silicone
- latex
- silicate.
In turn, depending on the desired decorative effect, the coloring mixture is divided into matte, glossy and semi-gloss. The colors and shades when choosing directly depend on the interior as a whole.
The process of applying whitewash or paint to the ceiling has no fundamental differences. The main tool can be a brush, roller or spray gun. Paint, like whitewashing, is best applied in several layers, each time waiting for the previous to dry completely.
The disadvantages of painting ceilings include only the need for careful removal of previous coatings and the need for periodic updates.
- the possibility of applying to any surface,
- wide selection of colors and shades,
- affordability.
Fans of custom solutions when painting the ceiling can afford art painting. To do this, depending on the complexity of the drawing, you will need to invite a professional or just use the appropriate stencil.
Decorative plaster
In addition to the usual plaster used for leveling surfaces, there is its decorative analogue, which is a textured finish. This tool allows you to give the surface a beautiful relief that conceals minor defects and allows you to realize original design ideas.
The combination of different application methods also allows you to achieve interesting results.
Decorating the ceiling with decorative plaster has several advantages:
- masking surface defects
- the possibility of applying to any building materials (concrete, brick, wood, drywall),
- color variety
- resistance to mechanical stress,
- significant life
- environmental Safety.
The disadvantage is the complexity of the application and, accordingly, the need to attract specialists.
Depending on the desired result, two types of decorative plaster for the ceiling are distinguished:
Textured. It is a ready-to-use mixture. The desired appearance and surface relief is achieved due to the presence in the composition of the appropriate components (marble, granite or quartz chips). There are several subspecies of such plaster, which differ in the size of the granules of the decorative filler.
Structural. It is a plastic mass of white. It differs in that to create a relief pattern in the application process, it is necessary to use special tools. The desired shade is achieved by adding a tinting solution or subsequent painting.
Sgraffito
Considering the methods of decorating the ceiling with decorative plaster, you can not ignore such an option as sgraffito. This is a special technology of multilayer deposition and subsequent fragmentary removal of particles of the upper layers in accordance with the artistic design.
As a result, a real work of art appears on the ceiling.
The peculiarity of this technique is that in order to create a multilayer pattern, the working surface is alternately covered with plaster mixes of different colors. After the final drying, a drawing is applied to the outer layer. Then, using special tools, part of the coating is removed until the desired color appears. Next, work is carried out with the next layer, etc.
After completion of the art process, the surface is covered with special wax.
As a rule, sgraffito is not used as the main finish for large areas of single-level ceilings. This option is more suitable for multi-level structures or is used fragmentarily to highlight individual sections (near the chandelier, in corner zones, around the perimeter). This technique is excellent in the design of one wall with the capture of part of the ceiling.
The main disadvantage of this method of decoration is the high cost and complexity of the application process, requiring the highest level of skill.
Venetian plaster
Ceilings resembling polished marble, exquisitely shining with penetrating rays of light - this is the result of the painstaking work of the master with Venetian plaster. In its modern design, it is a mixture of dyes with lime, silicone, acrylic or epoxy.
The advantages of this coating are obvious:
- aesthetics
- durability,
- resistance to fungal infections,
- hypoallergenicity.
- complexity of application
- high cost of work and raw materials.
When choosing a Venetian plaster, it is important to consider that it is suitable only for classic interior styles.
The richest choice of wallpaper with a variety of textures and materials makes them very popular in the design of many surfaces, including ceilings. On sale you can find options for every taste and wealth, suitable for all interior areas.
This versatility is explained by many varieties of wallpaper:
- paper
- vinyl
- non-woven,
- cullet,
- the liquid wallpaper.
Names in this case are determined by the main components, which also provide coating features.
The advantages of all types of wallpaper can be considered:
- variety of textures and colors,
- affordability
- the possibility of sticking / applying with your own hands.
+ Some types of wallpaper are suitable for subsequent staining.
The disadvantages of such coatings are reduced to fragility, instability to moisture and ultraviolet.
The liquid wallpaper
[ads_block] 
Liquid wallpaper is distinguished not only by the structure, which is a dry mixture of paper and decorative components, but also by the method of application.
To begin using, such wallpapers are mixed with water, in accordance with the instructions. Then the resulting mixture is applied to the ceiling, neatly distributed with a spatula and trowel. The work is simple and can be performed without the involvement of specialists.
The final result in appearance is more like decorative plaster, only soft and tender.
An additional advantage of such a coating is the ease of repairing damaged areas. It is enough to moisten the spoiled fragment with water, remove and apply again.
Ceiling tile
One of the easiest and fastest ways to finish the ceiling is considered to be gluing with polystyrene tiles. They can be of various sizes, perfectly smooth or with a relief pattern, snow-white or colored.
In addition to a variety of shapes and colors, ceiling tiles have the following positive characteristics:
- water resistance,
- affordability
- ease of installation and dismantling.
The disadvantages include:
- low strength
- fire hazard
- expanded polystyrene quickly degrades under the influence of direct sunlight.
Dropped ceilings
A special type of finish, which does not require preliminary surface preparation, remarkably hides all defects, and at the same time, communications, is called a suspended ceiling.
There are a lot of options for false ceilings. These can be constructions from:
All suspended ceiling coatings have a number of common advantages:
- practicality and aesthetics,
- the ability to hide wires and communications,
- durability.
They are not without drawbacks:
- complexity and significant installation cost,
- decrease in height of the room.
Rack (panel) ceiling
A more budgetary, but no less popular option for suspended ceilings are rack structures. They consist of a fixing frame system and cladding panels made of plastic, aluminum or steel.
There are two types of slatted ceilings:
RP of open type - in it the main panels are located with a small gap in which, to increase aesthetics, decorative inserts are placed. Colors of parts can be either the same or contrasting, depending on the preferences of the owner.
RP closed type - consists of alternating rails, tightly fitted to each other.
Regardless of the material, the surface of the rack ceilings can be solid or perforated.
Common advantages of such coatings are:
- moisture resistance
- practicality,
- durability,
- the ability to create curved surfaces,
- ease of installation.
- deformation susceptibility
- the complexity of dismantling.
In the case of selecting steel elements, considerable weight and susceptibility to corrosion are added to the list, while absolute fire safety is added to the positive characteristics.
Cassette system
Cassette ceilings have been the prerogative of offices and commercial premises for quite some time, however, in recent times they can be increasingly found in home interiors.
As a decorative component of such ceilings, square plates (cartridges) are used, made of a variety of materials:
- metal (steel, aluminum),
- glass (acrylic, silicate),
- gypsum,
- mineral fiber
- tree.
Their surface can be matte, glossy, mirror, metallized.
According to the performance of the cartridge are both solid and perforated.
Behind glass panels, lighting fixtures are often installed to fill the room with soft, diffused light.
For opaque surfaces, small built-in backlight options or luminaires of appropriate sizes are installed instead of cassettes.
According to the installation method, cassette ceilings are divided into two categories: open and closed type. In the first case, the retaining frames remain visible, in the second they are hidden behind the finish.
- universality
- the possibility of fragmented replacement of damaged elements,
- access to communications,
- ease of arrangement of additional ventilation,
- environmental friendliness.
For most types of cassette ceilings, high moisture resistance is also characteristic.
The drawback of cassette designs is the impossibility of obtaining a uniform coating, the grid of squares will be viewed with any performance.
Lattice Ceilings (Grilyato)
An original Italian invention - ceilings resembling a wire mesh, are also rapidly moving from offices and shopping centers to the interiors of residential premises. Such designs are a profile grid decorated with rectangular cells.
Materials for the manufacture are, as a rule, aluminum or steel. Due to its lightness, environmental friendliness and non-standard, such coatings allow you to implement exclusive design projects.
There are several models of lattice ceilings:
Standard. Has the same square cells of a p-shaped profile,
Layered. It is completed with profiles of different heights, allowing to achieve the effect of level changes,
Pyramidal. It differs in the shape of cells having a Y-shaped profile,
Jalousie. In appearance they resemble the design of the same name,
Non-standard. At the same time includes cells of different sizes.
Advantages of Grilyato ceilings:
- light weight
- environmental friendliness
- Fire safety,
- visual effects,
- ease of dismantling
- durability,
- many lighting options.
The disadvantage is the need to prepare the base, which can be viewed through the grate.
Laminate flooring
Many people associate laminate flooring, however, this finishing material can increasingly be seen on the ceiling. Imitating a natural wooden coating, it gives the room a special cosiness, while also performing the functions of heat and sound insulation.
The advantages of this finishing option include all the relevant characteristics of suspended ceilings, plus:
- a variety of layouts and colors,
- strength, resistance to mechanical stress,
- environmental friendliness
- aesthetics.
The disadvantage is the destructive effect of moisture.
Stretch (PVC) ceilings
This method of decoration allows you to transform the room beyond recognition, forming an effective seamless coating.
Advantages of suspended ceilings:
- variety of colors and configurations,
- moisture resistance
- practicality.
The disadvantages include:
- instability to mechanical influences,
- significant cost of coating and installation.
Mirror ceilings
The mirror ceiling is always interesting and unusual. Visually expanding the room, allowing you to play with the light, it becomes a real highlight of the interior.
There are several options for creating mirrored ceilings:
Tiled. Consists of glass mirror fragments of a certain shape. It has the best reflective effect.
Rack and pinion. It is a panel structure made of plastic elements with the appropriate spraying or aluminum battens with a reflective layer,
Tension. With the help of a PVC film with a glossy surface, the effect of a mirror coating is created.
Polystyrene. It is made in the form of large reflective plates, implying gluing on a carefully leveled surface.
- universality
- visual increase in space,
- lighting effects
- functionality,
- the possibility of combining materials,
- moisture resistance.
- the complexity of sanitation,
- significant weight of glass panels.
Coffered ceilings
Aristocratic classics, time-tested and not losing popularity - these are coffered ceilings. They give the room a special atmosphere of magnificent luxury.
Caisson ceilings are a decorated beam structure with recesses of a certain shape (caissons).
The material for creating such ceilings has traditionally been natural wood. However, due to the high complexity and significant cost of production and installation of all necessary elements, many prefer to use alternative options:
Advantages of coffered ceilings:
- aesthetics, premium look,
- durability,
- improvement of acoustic characteristics of the room.
Among the shortcomings can be identified:
- significant reduction in the height of the room,
- relatively high cost
- complexity of installation.
Textile ceiling decoration
A very unusual and effective way of decorating the ceiling is to finish it with textiles. In its simplest interpretation, it is pasting the surface with any fabric material. The application process is practically no different from working with wallpaper.
The next option is a stretch ceiling made of textile material. Compared to the film, such a coating is environmentally friendly, it does not disturb air circulation and easily tolerates temperature fluctuations. The disadvantages include the complexity of cleaning measures, the higher cost and the inability to use in rooms with a high level of humidity.
And finally, for luxuriously-elite and thematic interiors, the effect of drapery is applied, turning any space into a real art object.
To fix such masterpieces, several methods are provided:
Reiki. They are located around the perimeter and inside the selected area,
Wireframe system. It is used to organize complex compositions: cascades, puffs, tents,
Cornices. Mounted around the edges of the drapery.
The textile decoration of the ceiling is directly dependent on the walls. They should harmoniously complement each other without causing a dissonance of perception.
Wooden ceilings
Wooden ceilings, today, are in steady demand. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that with any performance they give the interior a special flavor and homeliness, successfully fitting into many design projects.
Advantages of wooden ceilings:
- aesthetics and decorativeness
- environmental friendliness
- universality
- soundproofing,

- naturalness and environmental friendliness,
- hypoallergenicity
- high thermal insulation
- soundproofing,
- moisture resistance
- Fire safety,
- durability,
- practicality,
- decorativeness.
There are practically no drawbacks to such a ceiling, if you do not take into account the rather high cost.
Bamboo ceiling
Fans of eco-design will surely like bamboo ceilings. They are made using three types of finishing materials:
bamboo plates - are made in the form of squares, with a side size of 60 cm,
bamboo panels - can have parameters: 120x240 cm and 100x190 cm.
Bamboo canvas is a roll-up option, which is a special kind of wallpaper that varies in length and width.
As a decorative finish of such ceilings, bamboo stems are used.
Advantages of bamboo finish:
- naturalness and environmental friendliness,
- exclusivity

Modern ceiling design
Whatever type of repair you start, you need to start it from the ceiling zone. Indeed, in general, the interior of the room will depend more on it! Today, a very wide variety of ceilings is offered. The main thing you need to rely on when choosing them is your own preferences and wishes, the type of room itself and the cost of materials. Naturally, if there is a financial constraint, then more budget types of design should be chosen. This can be: ordinary whitewashing, painting the ceiling, wallpapering or polystyrene boards. Also not very expensive, but at the same time, stretch ceilings will look very aesthetically and modernly. Design of stretch ceilings photo look with us!
And for the right choice, you should find out more about each of the types of finishes for ceilings.
Whitening or staining
This method is inexpensive, but it is very laborious and dirty. Slabs on the ceiling should be with perfect joints, and its surface itself - perfectly pre-aligned. If you whitewash the ceiling, you will have to wash a lot of whitewash from everywhere. And if you take a chalk solution or paint for the ceiling to reveal the ceiling surface, then they are unlikely to get the smoothest surface, because unevenly stained sections of the ceiling or at least stains will remain.
But given the budgetary cost of finishing, in any case, if the work is done efficiently, then such a ceiling will look much better than the “cracked” walls.
Wallpaper on the ceiling
If we compare the design of suspended or false ceilings at prices - with wallpapering, then the latter option is much budget. Moreover, compared with whitewashing - it is still not so laborious and dirty. Wallpaper design ideas for the ceiling are many. After all, wallpapers come in a wide variety of types, colors, textures, densities, etc. In addition, they can also be painted in different colors!
For example, if you choose a special type of wallpaper, such as liquid, then in its original form they will serve you for a very long time. But such wallpapers should not be used in the kitchen or bathroom.
But the wallpaper is unlikely to be able to even out irregularities, which is why the surface must first be perfectly aligned.
Abstraction
It is a very powerful tool that sets the design of a room of a certain dynamism. Abstraction forms optical illusions and creates a sense of surrealism.
Arched
They are a real architectural masterpiece that can transform even the most ordinary design. The vaulted ceiling dramatically changes the geometry of space and gives it a more elegant shape.
Rolling into the wall
The transition made at an angle, slope, various bends or shapes will perfectly match the specific interior solution and will become a stylish and unusual art object of the room.
G shaped
L-shaped constructions can have either one or several levels, or both straight and curved lines. Using such models with a combination of different colors or textures, it turns out to form an interesting and original design.
Beveled
Inclined and oblique ceiling planes, due to the irregular geometric shape, have a rather unusual appearance and provide huge decoration possibilities. For their design quite often used stretch linens, plastic panels or wooden products decorated with beams.
Unusual ceiling design
The original design of the ceilings using the most unexpected ideas, expressive colors or unusual decor, will become the main graphic and architectural element of the decor.
The photo shows a modern living room with an unusual ceiling design in the form of polyhedrons.
Combined
The combination of products from gypsum fiberboard and stretch cloths or other finishing materials will allow to realize the most daring design ideas. Mixing different types of finishes can not only give the room a fantastic appearance, but also visually change its proportions.
Ceiling Options 2020
Of course, any person is primarily guided by the individual preferences and recommendations of the designer, however, you need to know what to choose from, commensurate with your capabilities.
We will find out what will be fashionable in the design of ceilings in 2020, and also find out what colors and materials for their design are better to use.
Coloring and whitewashing

Look at our modern photo ceiling design.
Decoration of the ceiling in the hall
Here, the ceiling must be perfectly even, have an aesthetic appearance and correspond to the main style in which the interior is decorated. From the above options, you can choose any material.
To design a stylish and expensive ceiling - choose a stretch one. If the room is small, then the false ceiling will fit perfectly with a mirror effect. If you have a financial constraint, then you can choose the option of a false ceiling made of gypsum. And if you need to update the interior and, at the same time, pay a little money for it, then you can simply paste wallpaper on the ceiling or whitewash it.
It will not be very appropriate to design a cassette-type ceiling or plastic panels, which will be more appropriate for administrative premises, etc.
Bedroom
For this room, the choice of ceiling is identical to the choice for the living room. The main thing to consider here is his ability to let you relax and rest, that is, he should not draw your attention to himself. Even if you have a small room, the mirror ceiling will not be very appropriate here. To this end, it is better to choose a glossy surface.
It is appropriate to use MDF panels, textured ceiling tiles, drywall or suspended ceilings.
If you decorate the ceiling in a children's bedroom, then you can realize even the most extraordinary design, giving vent to your emotions and fantasies!

Kitchen ceiling design
Just want to note that in the kitchen room the ceilings can be even more diverse than in the guest or bedroom rooms, so immediately see the ceiling design in the kitchen photo.
In the kitchen, where something is constantly being cooked, some kind of evaporation, temperature changes, increased requirements for hygiene standards take place, the ceiling must have such properties as moisture resistance, fire safety, environmental friendliness, ease of care. And since the most fragile ceilings in these matters are wallpaper or painted, it is not recommended to use them unambiguously. After reviewing the design of the ceiling in the kitchen photo, you will understand what various types of designs can be translated into reality in your own room.
If updating the interior is important for you, but at the same time, this should be done at an extremely minimal cost, then choose laminated polystyrene tiles or PVC panels.
If you have significant cracks or irregularities on the ceiling, then you need to choose a plaster, hanging or tension option to design the ceiling design in the kitchen.
Bathroom
Here the requirements are identical to those put forward for kitchens. Since evaporation occurs here, there is always a risk of the emergence and multiplication of fungi and bacteria, surfaces can be cleaned regularly, then gypsum plasterboard ceilings are completely unsuitable here, pasted with wallpaper or panels of particleboard, fiberboard, and even more so, not impregnated with special means!
Since bathtubs are usually small in size, the most ideal option for arranging ceilings in them is a mirror and a rack type, which allow you to visually expand the space, adding light and shine.
In addition, these types of ceilings are very easy to clean and easy to clean if there are stains or deposits.
Also, a stretch ceiling is a great option, but it will already be a more expensive option.
Khrushchev
The ceilings are very low here, as a rule. Depending on whether the floor was screed, the height of the ceilings can be the most - 2.40 m. Naturally, it can be problematic to draw out the suspended or suspended design of low ceilings, given that they steal up to 10 cm in height. Nevertheless, this can be done, especially if there are no serious defects on the real surface of the ceiling.
To design a low ceiling in an apartment of the Khrushchev type, it is best to choose a mirror or glossy surface.
Modern new homes
Everything is much easier here, compared to the previous version. The main thing to take into account here is that in a couple or three years the building will sag a little, and this can to some extent affect its geometry. But for this, equip the ceilings with a small "margin." Any suspension or tensioning systems will be appropriate here.
A private house
In such housing, the issue of heat insulation often comes to the fore. Therefore, the material chosen for the design of the ceiling must have thermal insulation properties. In private houses there are very high ceilings, the design of which can be decorated in a very original way by suspended or suspended ceiling structures.
In general, choose, decide, act. We hope that our advice will help in resolving your questions about home improvement.
